Although he was despised, there was no trace of guilt on Sun Xiyi's face. There was a faint smile on his face, as if everything in the past had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Sun Xiyi's attitude, Liu Rushi couldn't help but feel a little amazed. As if she had gotten to know Sun Xiyi again, she looked at him again and then said: "Master Sun, you are just a prostitute, but you asked such a question." A big question, wouldn¡¯t it be asked by Blind Call?¡±
"Master Liu, what you said is wrong!" Sun Xiyi laughed loudly and said: "Who in Hangzhou doesn't know that you and the emperor's favorite concubine Shu are sisters. The emperor and you are old acquaintances, how can we treat you as a sister?" Compared with ordinary promiscuous women!"
A look of anger flashed across Liu Rushi's face. Sun Xiyi's words clearly meant something else. She was an old acquaintance of the current emperor. Wasn't this a hint that she had something to do with the current emperor? Is there an unclear relationship? That would be fine if it were true, but the relationship between Liu Rushi and Pang Gang was not as ambiguous as the world had guessed. Sun Xiyi's words made Liu Rushi secretly unhappy.
Liu Rushi's expression slowly turned cold and he said displeasedly: "Young Master Sun, what you said is wrong. You are no different from other promiscuous women in Hangzhou. The so-called nickname is just a compliment. I really don't dare to be Young Master Sun." of praise.¡±
Liu Rushi blocked Sun Xiyi back with just one sentence, without even a polite word. By this time, anyone could see Liu Rushi's displeasure.
And Sun Xiyi was also secretly angry. In his opinion, Liu Rushi was just a singer at best, and her so-called reputation was just blown out by everyone. As for her outstanding appearance, there were many outstanding women in Hangzhou. Okay, could Liu Rushi's bottom really be inlaid with gold?
Sun Xiyi originally had the temperament of a young master. Now that he has received such a neither soft nor hard nail, he has already become unhappy. However, as he has grown older in the past few years, his temper has finally become deeper than before. He did not have a fit on the spot, Chapter 544 Hangzhou, but took a deep look at Liu Rushi, and then said: "What did Mr. Liu mean when he said this? Could it be that there are so many scholars in Hangzhou today?" Ju, Liu and everyone are not willing to reveal any information?"
Liu Rushi frowned. Sun Xiyi's words were too degrading. Hearing what he said, if Liu Rushi didn't reveal some news to everyone today, she would obviously not give face to the Hangzhou scholars here. In this way, she would Almost all the scholars in Hangzhou were offended.
Liu Rushi is very clear about what this means. As a female prostitute, Liu Rushi has been able to get along like a fish in the city of Hangzhou these years. There are only two reasons for this. The first is that she and the current emperor's daughter-in-law are handkerchiefs. She is a close friend in her boudoir. For this, no matter who she is, she must give her some face. The second point is that the scholars in Hangzhou support her. Liu Rushi knows very well that the so-called fame is only what people praise her for. Without the support of these scholars, she, Liu Rushi, can only do nothing no matter how great her ability is.
Thinking of this, Liu Rushi couldn't help but take a deep look at Sun Xiyi. At this moment, she felt for the first time that Sun Xiyi, who she thought was just a mediocre person in the past, turned out to be a bad bastard.
Facing the aggressive gazes of everyone, Liu Rushi also knew that his original method of pretending to be stupid could no longer continue. He thought about it and said, "In that case, what do you want Rushi to do?"
Seeing Liu Rushi finally bowing his head in submission, everyone couldn't help but show a hint of joy on their faces. After they looked at each other, Sun Xiyi took the lead again. Sun Xiyi smiled slightly and said: "Everyone Liu, we all know that you have a close relationship with the current Concubine Shu. We, the scholars in Hangzhou, have long admired the new dynasty, but we have never had the opportunity to express our admiration to the current emperor. Therefore, I specially ask Mr. Liu to express our admiration to the Emperor on our behalf. These are just two small gifts, one to honor the current Emperor and Concubine Shu. Please convey it on your behalf."
After saying that, Sun Xiyi clapped his hands, and a servant came behind him carrying a tray, and placed three-cent gift orders on the tray. Two gift lists were wrapped in yellow silk, and the other was framed in red cardboard, which looked extremely expensive.
Liu Rushi only glanced at it and knew that the two yellow satin-wrapped gift lists were presented to today's Pang Gang and Chen Yuanyuan, because since the Ming Dynasty, yellow has become the exclusive color of the royal family. Naturally, Sun Xiyi would not make such a stupid mistake, and red The gift list must be a thank you gift for myself, the "errand boy".
Liu Rushi nodded slightly, and a maid immediately stood up behind her to collect the tray.
Seeing Liu Rushi accepting the gift list, everyone looked at each other slightly, with a look of relief on their faces. It seemed that today's matter was done. Since Liu RushiIt's just something she accepted. With her reputation, she will definitely get things done.
Sun Xiyi also smiled and cupped his hands, "Young Master Liu is worthy of being called a woman, Xiyi thanks me in advance!"
Liu Rushi smiled slightly, parted her lips and said: "Young Master Sun is serious. Since Ru Sui has promised all the young masters, he will naturally get things done. However, Ru Sui wants to say ugly things first. Ru Su is only responsible for passing on the words. As for whether it succeeds or not, This is not guaranteed."
"That's right. As long as everyone Liu can keep your words, I will be very grateful."
Everyone expressed their thanks and understanding. The reason why they lowered their heads to beg Liu Rushi was because they were interested in Liu Rushi's capital and channels to communicate. Could it be that they really expected Liu Rushi to influence Pang Gang's decision-making?
If they really think this way, then they are collectively mentally retarded. As long as Liu Rushi can take their words to heart, it will be fine. What happens next depends on God¡¯s will.
After achieving their wish, everyone drank a few more glasses of wine with Liu Rushi, listened to a piece of music, and then left one after another. They had to go home and report today's news to their families.
After sending everyone away, Liu Rushi stood quietly in the small courtyard, feeling the slightest chill in winter without making a sound. Finally, a maid about fifteen or sixteen years old came over to urge her, and then she took small steps up. In the boudoir.
Liu Rushi¡¯s noble family is different from ordinary women. In addition to a bed, her boudoir is filled with books. Liu Rushi doesn¡¯t have many hobbies, but reading is definitely one of them.
After entering the study, a warm breath hit my face, and the blazing charcoal fire made the room as warm as spring.
At this time, the personal maid placed the tray she had just accepted on Liu Rushi's desk, and said happily: "Girl, these gentlemen are so generous. Look at this gift list, just for you, it's ten pieces of silver." Thousands of taels! I didn¡¯t expect that these scholars always shout about being loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but now the army of Dahua has not arrived yet, and they are busy leaving a way out for themselves. They are really a bunch of weaklings!" The maid¡¯s words were disdainful. So obvious.
Liu Rushi smiled slightly, her beautiful face blooming like a proud plum blossom in the cold winter. She sighed softly: "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. We can't blame them. Besides, there is no use in having more money, you see. Look at the three banquet tables downstairs that we ordered at Zuixianlou. The price of the three tables is more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver. In the eyes of the hungry and cold refugees on the street, this silver is enough to buy sixty or seventy yuan. He is a young boy, but in the eyes of the young masters outside, this money is just a meal. What a huge difference! Isn¡¯t this the case where Zhumen¡¯s bones are frozen to death due to the smell of wine and meat?¡±
The maid behind her secretly stuck out her tongue without saying a word. She knew that her own girl had this problem. It was her kind of person that Chun Bei Qiu Shang was talking about. In this maid's view, as long as she could eat enough, the outside world would What does the behavior of other people have to do with myself? National affairs are considered by the emperor and officials, not something that a little girl like her can care about.
Fortunately, Liu Rushi just sighed. She thought about it, sat on the desk, quickly wrote a letter, and stuffed two gift orders into an envelope. She handed the letter to a maid and asked Said: "Go to the dock quickly, give the letter to Uncle Luo, and ask him to send the urgent letter to the capital!"
"yes!"
The maid said a long blessing, took the envelope and went out quickly.
Only Liu Rushi was left in the room. She looked at the withered flowers outside the window and said to herself with emotion: "Yuanyuan, this world will eventually fall into the hands of your husband. The world will soon be named Pang. I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s a blessing or a curse.¡±
As the Dahua army approached, the atmosphere in Hangzhou became increasingly tense. On October 29, Zuo Liangyu finally ordered the four gates of Hangzhou to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. He also sent a large army to the city. They patrolled day and night. If they encountered anyone spreading rumors, they would be immediately arrested and beheaded on the spot. Many officers also took the opportunity to plunder.
Under Zuo Liangyu's high pressure, many wealthy gentry in Hangzhou city dared not speak out. However, these Jiangnan gentry are not fuel-efficient lamps. They have also secretly joined forces to prepare for the attack at the appropriate time. Zuo Liangyu and others dealt a fatal blow.
It was cold late at night on October 30th, and the docks in Hangzhou were already silent. The porters, coolies, and merchants all fell asleep. At this time, black shadows floated across the river outside the docks. These black shadows slowly approached the shore. If someone stood on the dock and saw this scene, they would be surprised by such a huge ship.
This is a fleet of hundreds of large ships. Under the cover of night, they slowly docked at the dock and soon?A group of soldiers wearing black armor stepped onto the land from the ship! ! !
